did you check the rim tape ?
I had used the plastic stuff on an old Mavic MA3 and couldn't get any tyre to fit , even old worn ones. I only twigged when I changed to cotton tape. The cotton sits low and tight to the bottom of the rim and allows the tyre bead to sit lower in the centre of the rim when putting the tyres on or taking them off.

tough luck :roll: I have to say I would never buy another Campag wheel or part as long as I live . Most of it is made to arbitrary tolerences with poor quality contol and the most appalling finish quality imaginable.
The freehubs on Khamsins and vento's are rubbish and there are dozens of posts around the net about premature failures.
Take any Campag cassette like Mirage Veloche etc and compare the finish with a similarly priced Shimano part after a couple of 100 miles .
Compare the finish of a chainset or brake caliper and you'll find Shimano remove all the casting residue and polish properly wheras the Campag componants are rough and unpolished. I rest my case
